Idiotyt zvyni vinagi tri pyti

The Idiot Always Rings Three Times

A euphoric theatrical comedy with elements of the absurd, as well as a bit of drama, melodrama, satire, and another two or three genres unknown to art.

„The Idiot Always Rings Three Times“ is an absurd comedy about the man who loves madly, the woman who always has an excuse, and the friend who is supposedly just passing by.

Laughter, despair, and a slightly breathless existential panic, served with that intelligent cruelty with which Hanoch Levin knows how to turn human stupidity into art.

A story about passion, self-deception, and the eternal need to believe that „this time will be different“.

Judge Lamka is convinced that he has found the woman of his life - elevated, decorous and, of course, „modest“. Except that behind her tears and romantic sighs lies not love, but a well-coordinated diplomatic corps of suitors.

While Lamka philosophizes about love, is jealous with class and suffers with dignity, the world around him falls apart with Olympian calm.

And the doorbell - it rings. Three times.
